Curse

Hello there after months of farming these places and skill balances, I have decided to post a build. Please take note this is my 1st build, and a large1 at that.

Ok lets get started. First the build, and yes this is another Shadow Form abuse build.

And the weapons

Most of the groups u should cast SoH to almost where they are off ur map.
K there is alot of places to use this build, 1st FoW.

And depending on how far u want to farm and do the quest this can also be a dual run. Also it might be a good idea to bring a monk hero incase u mess up. Just send him away after u clear the 1st group so he won't take ur items.

1st the run. Because of alot of bad spawns and not always being able to clear the 1st group w/o rastigan getting into trouble, it is safer to run to this spot than hving him die and wasting 1k. Just simply cast SF and Dark Escape once the 2 groups join together on the North part.

Ok after recharging SF time to go for the 1st group. Just target the monk 1st and just do the order of the skills 2-7 and use dark escape to end SoH. With practice u should be able to clear the group in 1 run, Note that once the monk dies the Warriors will use IWAY and the beast Consume Corpse to save their self.

After that there is 2 groups just to the east. If aggro the group with the 2monks and beast when they are right by each other, u should be able to clear it in one sweep. With the group to the left if u run to the caster in the back ,usually the mesmer, one of the ele's seems to be have a automatic path and combines right with the mesmer. Not always though.

After that just kill the group to the east of rastigan.

When clearing a group with more then 1 monk, wether they are patrolling or just standing, try to time it when they are right near each other or close, and position right by them or between them. IF u don't they will rez each other.

If u want to kill the abyssals I advise u to bring a 2nd person with u and either go in at the same time or trade off. If u do this I'd advise u to clear them clockwise starting with the north side of the building, because the 1st group to the south of the building will trigger rastigan to walk to the tower. If u decide to clear that group u should hv plenty time to recharge before he opens the gate. When he does, both people should run in front of him and the abbyssals should only aggro. After that just kill the Giant beast and either save ur reward if u hv a hero monk with u incase u die or accept it.

After that there is the Beach, Cave, Battlefield, Forest, and the Forge.

The beach is all soloable except the armored cave spiders. They are just like the abyssals.
And here is the video. Sorry it took so long to finish and load it. It follows mostly like the guid. Sorry if the video image is hard to see. Enjoi

very nice ^^ how long did it take u 2 clear all of fow?

jbwarrior · Feb 28, 2007, 09:59 PM // 21:59

Nice guide

Going to try this when europe has the favor

Captain Jager · Feb 28, 2007, 10:03 PM // 22:03

It took about 2-3hours minus all the breaks in between. But this build isn't just for FoW but many other places, including gates of madness mission for fun

.

LUCKY4261 · Feb 28, 2007, 10:27 PM // 22:27

shadow of haste makes this build pretty slow.therefore the 2-3hr run. nice guide anywayz!

but theres another guide for fow ele/ranger: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3063372

Captain Jager · Feb 28, 2007, 10:53 PM // 22:53

Its not reallly SoH that makes it slow but Shadow form and m.s. with the 60 second recharge. So if u mess up u hv to wait an extra minute. You can also, if u want to 2 man, take recall instead and add another aoe skill in but its harder to end.

Why_Me · Feb 28, 2007, 11:13 PM // 23:13

Nice to see another ele FoW solo, I'll definitely try this. Can it clear the forest and the burning forest? Inferno and choking gas comes to mind, but it might be possible to get around them. Can't wait for video.

Captain Jager · Feb 28, 2007, 11:25 PM // 23:25

yeah the Forest of the wailing lord is possible u just cast M.S. on the wurms before u aggro and go in for the kill.

Dark Tykane · Mar 01, 2007, 12:55 AM // 00:55

I posted this build on the assasin shadow form abuse thread -_-

Neriandal Freit · Mar 01, 2007, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Interesting, I'll be keeping this eyed and will be adding it to my massive pile of Elementalist soloing builds.

myst1k · Mar 01, 2007, 01:56 AM // 01:56

this build doesnt work for the most of the ppl 10 ppl tried none arrived to successfully make it to the abyssals, too hard build to handle.

Captain Jager · Mar 01, 2007, 02:40 AM // 02:40

Hmmm really, is it because SF ends early? Or if u can't kill them with this add lava font instead of glyphe of elemental power like Killer Force Ninja does. I will try to get this video out by tommorrow. There is plenty of other places to practice this such as bugs outside of Haven or the Kirin near matuu keep.

Xiaxhou of Trinity · Mar 01, 2007, 06:30 AM // 06:30

heh kirin outside of maatu keep never thought of those. used to use the mist form build on those guys but they added dragon moss =/ I think this is build is too hard simply because not everyone can do the hit and run thing, or can't position themselves in time before SF ends. It's a bit easier imo than the silver armor farming with SF, since sometimes the 17 sec can be an annoyance, but SoH is a great skill in this build. Recall and Death's Charge all in one (except no teleporting lol) Great build, dont know if i'll be trying this anytime soon I'm not too good with using SF yet.

skinnydarn · Mar 03, 2007, 11:51 AM // 11:51

great build! im sure me and my guild will have great fun trying this out. ill let u know what we make of it

disarm76 · Mar 03, 2007, 07:48 PM // 19:48

well, I tried, but it takes 2-3 runs to kill a single group.
I do as the OP says, have the same gear and there's always 1-3 warriors who stay up.

Captain Jager · Mar 03, 2007, 10:35 PM // 22:35

Yeah sometimes the warriors are a pain if they get up Iway. Thats y i think sometimes it just better to 2man.

Dark Tykane · Mar 04, 2007, 06:13 AM // 06:13

The build was originally posted as an alternative to solo tombs, but i saw it was great for so much else. It does work great and much better than the sliver armor version good job on posting some guidance to my build.

onerabbit · Mar 04, 2007, 02:21 PM // 14:21

Been doing this for a few days now..managed to clear loads of Fow, all upto the fire forest, but the hydras use inferno -.-

also the stick things in the forest use Lightning Touch (goes through sf) for 100dmg +...how do i get around that?

Baaaa Ha ha ha... · Mar 04, 2007, 03:08 PM // 15:08

gaaaaaaahhhhh
yet another reason to get prophecies...(no ms)

Sprites · Mar 04, 2007, 11:09 PM // 23:09
